I bought this because I was tired of jams and broken down shredders. I use my shredder mostly to shred mail with my personal info on it. but at the end of the year i use it to shred a lot of old papers and old bills. while this isn't a frequent task it is an important one and one I don't want to spend weeks doing. It was important to me to find a durable shredder that would not jam and let me get this job done as quickly as possible. this shredder does that in spades!

I just bought this shredder, but had several garbage bags full of papers that I needed to shred. My old shredder had a small basket and a small mouth, so I had to fold all the papers in half to get them into the device and had to empty the basket every ten minutes or so. FRUSTRATING! Anyway, I zipped through my tons of shredding with no problem. I did have to keep emptying the basket, but that was to be expected - I think a 6 gallon basket is great for everyday use. The jam-proof function worked REALLY well - it stopped anytime the material in the basket touched the blades or anytime too many papers were fed into the mouth at one time. NO JAMS! It can handle up to 13 pages at once, so my work was done quickly and the BEST part (which you can't tell from the product descriptions) is that it is SOOO quiet. This huge shredder is much quieter than my little 6-page 1-gallon shredder. The only annoying part is the basket - it has to be pushed in all the way in several places for the shredder to operate. In all other respects though, I love this shredder!

Purchased this shredder to safely dispose of several boxes of old client tax returns. It really made this lingering job go quite fast with its ability to shred several page at a time and it never once jammed. It's quite operation was a pleasant surprise compared to my old shredder. What would have taken at least a week with my old shredder was accomplished over two days. The cross cut feature definitely ensured that none of the client's information could be used for identity theft.

This is a great product for home or business use. I tested several types of shredders at the store and none could compare to the PS-79CI. The other shredders were very loud. The Fellowes PS-79CI is well designed, easy to use and extremely quite. Its also a workhorse!!

This shredder was purchased to replace an older one I had been having problems with. The old one wouldn't shred more than two peices of paper without jamming. This new Fellowes shredder never jams and makes less noise than my old one. I'm very satisfied with its performance.

This machine is built like a tank! I couldn't believe how sturdy and well made this shredder is. After buying and throwing out other less expensive shredders that either jammed up or burned out, I decided to spend a little more and get this Fellowes machine. The convenience and time savings alone of being able to shred 13 sheets at one time is worth the price. It also has "safesense" feature that prevents you from getting your fingers near the opening. Add led lights that tell you how many sheets you can load, jamproof technology, a large easy to remove basket and smooth, quiet operation, and a great warranty, and you've got the BEST shredder for the money out there.

I bought this shredder for personal use. I got it for a decent price, and it has performed admirably ever since the first stack of papers I've introduced to it. It works fairly quietly, and does exactly what its supposed to. I have nothing bad to say about this product, and would recommend it to anyone who needs a personal shredder at home. The only minor detail that I would see could improve this product is the emptying process. sometimes there are shreds that spill out, or are left behind. Other than that this product is perfect.

This Fellowes 79Ci is replacing a Fellowes PS 60CC shredder we bought in 1996, which has finally given up. If this new one lasts half as long, I will be happy. So far, the new shredder is living up to it's praises. The one small complaint I have is that the basket fills up too fast and I think that is because the cut size is larger than our previous shredder. It is quieter and safer to use. I wouldn't buy a shredder unless the Fellowes name was on it.

The instructions were some of the worst I've ever seen. No help with putting on casters. They don't screw in; you can't beat 'em in place with a hammer. They don't tell you they have to be in a certain position to go in. Also, there are no directions for putting trash bag in bin. We had it under the lid, but bin won't open if it's like that. Just a little help would've been nice! As for the shredder itself, the bin is kinda floppy and is hard to lock in place, but it's very quiet and powerful.

I recently replaced my old Fellowes shredder with the slightly more expensive PS-79Ci model. I wanted a shredder that could handle more paper and would not jam. Since using this new model, I have been totally impressed with the power that it has and the quiet operation. I'm still waiting for a jam to occur and it seems like I will wait a long time!
